The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero (Return of the catastrophic hero) - Chapter 412

The Constructs of the Serpent Bearer temple were stunned because of the sight before them.

“Plant your heads on the ground. Repeat after me. I.”

[…I!]

“Greatly.”

[G-Greatly…!]

“Sinned against.”

[Sinned against!!]

“Lee Gun-nim.”

[Lee Gun-nim!!!]

“Your voices are too low, bastards! Who told you to lower your butts!!”

[I…I’m sorry!!]

“Again!!”

Lee Gun was making the gods who had come to punish him plant their heads on the ground with their hands behind their backs.

The Constructs were sweating bullets because of this.

‘The mighty high-rank Zodiacs of the Pantheon are…’

‘They have their heads planted on the ground….’

The Pantheon was the location where the competition between the gods was the fiercest. It was called the best of the best. These high-rank Zodiacs were the ruling class of the Pantheon, yet…

As if such a humiliating sight wasn’t enough, they were being kicked by Lee Gun.

It caused great discontent among the gods, but they couldn’t call for punitive measures at all in front of the Primordial god.

[We are sorry!! We’ll forget this punitive measure ever happened. Let us return to the Divine world— Kuhk!]

“You better keep the right angle while you plant your head!”

[…koo-oohk!]

The Zodiacs acted as if Lee Gun wouldn’t get away with this as they planted their heads.

‘If only the Primordial god weren’t here…!’

‘We wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells…!’

Someone was looking at all of this as if he was appalled.

“I went through the trouble of chasing away the evil gods. What the hell is he doing?” It was Hugo.

When Hugo acted awkwardly around the Primordial god, the Constructs of the Scorpio temple cackled in derision.

[Why are you suddenly acting this way?]

[Did you perhaps recall the memory of you entering the bedroom of the Primordial god— Huhk!!]

Hugo stomped on the monster-looking Constructs of the Scorpio temple with a cold look.

At the same time, he recalled a memory from the past. It was a memory from a very long time ago.

– Oh my! He must be the famous one that turned the Divine world on its head, right?

– Yes. This bastard is Eternal Change. He’s the ruffian who entered the bedroom of the Primordial god. Even now, he was trying to lure and eat a god. We were barely able to catch him.

– Hmmph. He truly was bold in trying to climb the walls of the Primordial god.

– Since we work directly under the Primordial god, the Creators are now in charge of monitoring him. For now, we’ll let him stay with us. We’ll be his guards.

– Why don’t we put him in prison?

– His ability is too strong. All prisons are useless against him. That’s why he was handed over to the Creators.

– My god! The power of the forces directly under the Primordial god doesn’t work against him? That’s incredible. Is he a god?

– No. He’s a gluttonous monster that was born from trash.

Because of that, the Creators had to create a sealing technique, which led to Eternal Change’s soul being imprisoned by the Creators.

Whenever he tried to use his power or run away, the Creators neutralized him. He was the criminal, and they were the guards. This was how he came to live with the Creators.

At the time, Aslan’s father, the then leader of the Creators, had conversed with him.

– Mmm. Eternal Change. Let me ask you this question. Why did you go into the Primordial god’s dwelling? Is it because he’s a peerless beauty? Did you try to have a taste?

– …what?! There’s no way he did something, right?

– It truly was a killer….

– What?!!

– His fist…

– …

Eternal Change had spent a fairly long time with the Creators. Of course, it had all come to an end when he found out the weakness of the Creators.

– The Primordial god has been tricked by Eternal Change and has lost his power!

– Eternal Change has killed the Creators, and he’s on the run!! Catch him!

– To break his seal, he tricked the Creators and the Constructs! He ran away!

Hugo clicked his tongue when he remembered the past. In the end, he had killed the Creators, whom he had lived with, and also turned Scorpio into a monster.

Anyway, it was an old, unpleasant memory. It was also inevitable that the Primordial god would hate him.

‘Why is he here….’

As expected, the four great evil gods were furious when Hugo made his appearance.

[Look who it is. Aren’t you Eternal Change?]

The Chun siblings tilted their heads in puzzlement.

‘Eternal Change?’

The siblings wondered what they were saying when the gods became apoplectic.

[Huh! I had heard a rumor that Eternal Change was staying next to the snake god. That bastard really is…!]

While they still had their heads planted, they looked at Hugo and ground their teeth.

[You are the reason the balance of the Divine world started to shift!]

[If it weren’t for you, the Primordial god wouldn’t have suffered such a fate!]

[Do you realize how much hardship the Primordial god suffered…!]

While he may have become a human, there was no way his rotten nature could be forgotten. They cussed at him.

[You already ate so many gods. At the very least, you should have just stayed out of the way.]

[Will you once again betray and hunt down the Creator that sides with you?]

“Shut up.”

[!]

Hugo’s eyebrows rose in anger. “If you guys want, I’ll get rid of all of you in the same way.” A tyrannical energy pressed down on the gods.

Koo-goong!

It mimicked the magical energy of the Serpent Bearer temple, but it clearly was the mighty power of a monarch!

The gods gnashed their teeth, feeling Hugo’s murderous intent.

‘As expected, he is awakening as a monarch…!’

‘This is dangerous…!!’

At that moment, someone seemed bothered by the menacing power coming out of Hugo.

Kwahng!!

[Scorpio is angry. She has used the power of her holy ground.]

[She slams down on Pushover’s power.]

Was it because he was inside her holy ground?

When Hugo’s power was pushed down, he spoke out in annoyance. “Are you doing this because you are a Creator… You want to die?”

The Gods were frightened by what they saw. They looked at Lee Gun.

[S…Snake god! He’ll go berserk!]

[You have to quickly get rid of him!]

However, the gods fell to the ground when Lee Gun stepped on them. “Didn’t I tell you? Keep your heads planted. Do it correctly.”

[Look here!! That isn’t important right now—]

“I told you to keep it planted! Do you take my words to be nothing?! You filthy scums!!”

[Kuh-hoo-uhhk!!]

Bbah-gahk!!! Bbah-gahk! Bbah-gahk!

In the end, all the gods once again planted their heads on the ground.

Lee Gun clicked his tongue as he shook his leg.

Hugo didn’t want to get beaten by Lee Gun, so he hid his power. “Whatever. Let’s talk about something else.”

“!”

Lee Gun looked at the evil gods with a displeased expression.

“Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that you guys are fallen gods, right?”

The four evil gods looked aggrieved.

[Fallen!]

“What? I’m right. You guys tried to kill the Primordial god.”

[The Great Spirits were the ones to do that to the Primordial god!!]

“What?”

[W…What?!]

The gods, who had their heads planted, could no longer stand by. They reacted in anger.

[Nonsense!! Don’t listen to them, Snake god!! They are telling lies!!]

[The evil gods are trying to mislead you. They want to sell you!]

“!”

They all spoke with a single purpose.

[I might hate you, but in this matter, we are partners. This is why I’m telling you this!]

[Yes! When gods become corrupt, you can tell immediately. Their hideous appearance appeared for a reason!]

[I don’t know what their goal is, but they are trying to trick you! Their appearance is proof! They couldn’t win out against their Karmic debt!]

The evil gods almost spat out their words as they shouted.

[This Karmic debt isn’t ours! It’s the Karmic debt of the Great Spirits!!]

“…!!”

They took a deep breath before continuing.

[Do you get what we are trying to say? The Great Spirits transferred their Karmic debt to us!]

The dumbfounded gods reacted in anger.

[Crazy bastards! That’s not possible!]

[As expected, they are trying to trick you using unfounded slander!]

[Snake god! Do not trust them— Kuh-huhk!!!]

The gods were beaten by Lee Gun once again. “I told you to plant your head properly.”

[No… We spoke on your behalf…]

The gods felt aggrieved.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Lee Gun had a more important matter to deal with. He looked at the giant. “First, I can’t use my powers if you guys stay close to me. I have to release myself from that restriction. There is a way, right?”

The evil gods looked at him as if this question put them in a tough spot.

[The Construct contract has to be released, but…]

“But?”

[The Primordial god is not in his normal state.]

[He’s basically a corpse. Only his unresolved emotions were left behind.]

[In other words, he won’t understand your request if you ask him to dismiss you as his Construct.]

It meant Lee Gun’s wish wouldn’t be granted. While the being that used to be the Primordial god still had powerful abilities, no intelligence was left behind.

Lee Gun unexpectedly started to laugh. “I have a good solution to that problem.”

[What?]

“I can fix the Primordial god’s status, and I can erase all the Karmic debt. It will also release the restriction placed on me. I can reset everything.”

[Are you trying to use the power of Life or Time to revive him?]

[Child. That is impossible.]

[Yes. The difference between the Primordial god and you is too vast. You cannot handle—]

“No, I don’t have to do that. It is a much simpler solution.”

[What is it?]

“Inheritance.”

Silence followed his words.

[What the hell did you say?!!]

“That bastard can kill himself, and he can be reborn. It’ll solve everything. Then he can become my Construct. What do you think? It’ll work, right?”

[#*$&*#!?]

Their descendant had lost his damn mind?!!

The evil gods looked at Lee Gun.

[Do you realize what you are saying right now?]

[He has to die! Moreover, you want to turn him into a Construct!]

[What kind of descendant was born to us?!]

They spoke as if such suggestions were off the table.

[Just the Primordial god’s existence itself can create a Dimension! Just messing with him will cause serious trouble. In fact, we won’t stand by and let something like that happen…]

At that moment…

[Alright.]

[Master?!]

The evil gods couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

[I’ll let the inheritance happen. I will become your Construct.]

What did he just say?!

[Whatever method you like…]

Wait a moment!!

* * *

[You are saying… The Primordial god will go through the inheritance process?]

“Yes… That is correct.”

The gods couldn’t speak when they heard the news about Lee Gun.

The Great Spirit of Valhalla scoffed as he stood with his hands behind his back.

[I can’t believe I’m hearing such nonsense. This is crazy.]

“Oh, Great Spirit of Valhalla. What if the snake god really takes possession of the Primordial god’s power…”

[Do you even think such a thing is possible?]

“!”

[It may be a momentary event. However, the loss of the Primordial god means the entire universe will also cease to exist. Also, the ones next to him will never allow such a thing to happen.]

“That’s right. He has enough power to kill all the gods in a dimension and all the residents of the colonies that they possess. It’s a move where one pursues the death of everyone. It’s self-destruction.”

“There is no way they will mess with such a method. It’ll be problematic even if they choose to go through it.”

This was why they weren’t worried about what was going on over there.

In fact, the Great Spirits were currently most angry about the presence of Eternal Change. The only reason they weren’t able to detect the presence of the Primordial god was Eternal Change’s fault.

From the reports they had received, it seemed he was threatening the gods as he stood next to the snake god.

[It means you have to bear the responsibility for everything that has happened.]

“…!”

Sagittarius was tied up on a pillar in a spread eagle position, with numerous gods dead around him.

The Great Spirit looked at him in contempt.

[I can’t believe you thought it was a good idea to pick someone like that as a Zodiac Saint.]

“…no….”

[Well, choosing him was probably part of your Karmic debt.]

“…!”

[You don’t need to pay any attention to the Primordial god. Just take responsibility and go kill Eternal Change. Then bring the snake god here after you make up with him. Do you really think I’ll let someone like him have the Primordial god?]

No, that would cause more trouble.

[Since the Primordial god is hanging around the snake god, that can be postponed to a later time.]

Sagittarius let out a twisted laugh after receiving an order from the Great Spirit.

The Great Spirit of Valhalla was one of the top two figures in the Divine world. All gods got on their knees with their heads lowered when he spoke, no matter who they were.

This was also true of Sagittarius, who was affiliated with Olympus. The true authority of the Divine world was the Great Spirit of Valhalla and the Great Spirit of Ennead.

But what was this order? He had to make a conciliation with the snake god and kill Eternal Change?

“Hmmph. There is no way Gun will listen to your words. He doesn’t even listen to me.”

[It doesn’t matter. If you fail, you’ll just get executed.]

“…!”

[In fact, you can’t avoid an execution since you let the snake god into this world and put the Great Spirit of Kunlun in such a state.]

Sagittarius started to sweat.

[However, your sins will be forgiven if you can get rid of Eternal Change and bring back the snake god.]

“Let me get this straight. The snake god joined hands with the Primordial god, and you want me to face Eternal Change? Why don’t you just kill me right now?”

[If the Primordial god is next to the Creator, it’s to our advantage. The snake god won’t be able to use his power.]

“….”

[I’ll give you power. The snake god cannot use his power next to the Primordial god, and it will be impossible for him to possess the Primordial god. The evil gods next to him will never allow the inheritance of his power.]

The Primordial god had fought tooth and nail to live this long. Why would he choose to end his life?

[Don’t worry about them. Just go and come back after you carry out the tasks.]

The one-eyed god gestured with his hand, making a tattoo of a raven appear on Sagittarius’s neck.
